SharkBite Lead-Free Push-to-Connect End Stop Fitting

SharkBite Lead-Free Push-to-Connect End Stop Fitting

The SharkBite End Stop is a push-to-connect fitting built to cap off copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing in any combination without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue. Available in trade sizes ranging from 3/8" (1/2" OD) to 1/2", it's a go-to solution for capping a line during pressure testing on a rough-in job, and unlike a soldered cap, this fitting is fully reusable. Rated to 200 PSI and 200°F, the lead-free (LF) construction is certified for potable water supply and hydronic heating applications, making it a dependable choice for plumbers who need a fast, code-appropriate way to shut down a line.
